The joy of life is variety; the tenderest love requires to be rekindled by intervals of absence.
Samuel JohnsonWe love to expect, and when expectation is either disappointed or gratified, we want to be again expecting.
Samuel JohnsonPersius has justly observed, that knowledge is nothing to him who is not known by others to possess it: to the scholar himself it is nothing with respect either to honour or advantage, for the world cannot reward those qualities which are concealed from it; with respect to others it is nothing, because it affords no help to ignorance or errour.
